Koga pov.
It's been two weeks since we basically kick Nikki from the pack. I've had time to cool off and think about what I said to her. It wasn't all that harsh...Ok, it was. But I didn't expect that kind of reaction from her. Nikki seems to be head strong and stubborn, but I just found out from Kagome that she is actually a really sensitive person. I felt like a total jerk to the girl I was trying to befriend. Rubbing my hands down my face, I heaved a heavy sigh and got up from the ground. It was high time I found the girl and apologized like a man, I just hope that well works for me...
Nikki pov.
Two weeks, it's been two weeks of loneliness and solitude. Every little scratch and scrape was finally healed up and I had several more scars added to my unnatural collection. I huffed out a sigh and gave a stretch to my achy muscles, running around town all day can do that to you. "Guess I had better get going. Else that stupid gang is going to catch my tail." One final stretch and I was off again, running in a random direction to avoid as many humans as possible. I hurdled over a dumpster as a vaguely familiar sent drifted to my nose. "Flower petals and...tea. That has to be mama Higurashi." I smiled, only for it to drop as I remembered the last time I saw the demon boy who followed her.
Going on my better judgment, I turned down the closest ally way and high tailed it out of there. My judgment seems to suck cause I just ran right into the people I was hoping to avoid for the rest of my life. "Well, looks like our little run away has finally shown herself." A greasy haired man chuckled as a few men dropped from the roof tops, effectively cutting off any escape. "Now, you are either going to die as punishment for my brothers death. Or, you will be torn to bits as me and my pals have a bit of fun." He sneered as I let out a low growl. My eyes darted around for any hope in escaping, but as I've said. My life sucks out loud. "You leave me no choice but to fight..." I mumbled as I remembered Koga saying how badly I fight. 'If that's the case, I wont survive this.' I thought.
Just as the first fist went flying, I allowed my instincts to take over. With Kagome and Taki, I had a reason to hold back my fury. Now? I had nothing left. Nothing to keep me sane enough to care for a millisecond of the consequences of my actions. The first head went flying before anyone knew what was going on. I could feel their blood covering my hands as I tore through the weak flesh. I could hear the bones snapping like pencils. Hell had no bounds for the blood that I shed today. It pooled at my feet as I stared down at it, eyes gone cloudy with the loss of life.
Koga pov.
I was shocked at what the future world looks like. There were so many sights and sounds coming from everywhere. The smell was something awful, but I couldn't focus on any of that right now. I had to find Nikki in all this mess before she could catch my scent and run off. Giving a small sniff, I had to hold back a gag as I left the shrine in search the woman I wronged.
Strange roads that people walked on, strange things humans...rode in? Barking dogs on ropes and non-stop noise. My nose was no good here with all the mingling scents so it was up to my eyes to spot the spunky girl. It was hours of searching before something rancid hit my nose. I turned my head and saw a gruesome sight. Blood, bodies and the smell of death all in one small path. And there was Nikki, standing like a lifeless doll right in the middle of it all. My breath left me as my eyes and brain took in what was there.
My feet took me closer to her as my inner demon churned with the notion to run. I reached out my hand and gently touched her shoulder. The girl simply stood there as if nothing more than a statue. I gave her a firm shake and still no reaction. "Come on. Wake up Nikki...Please? Come on this isn't you!" I nearly shouted at the motionless girl. Without any other option, I gently scooped up the girl and jumped up to the roof of a tall structure and bounded back to the shrine. Kagome should know what to do, Nikki said they had been friends for years.
I was back at the shrine in minutes and I could smell the priestess and the half breed inside the building. Thankfully I didn't have to knock seeing as Inuyasha decided to come out to see who was here. "What the heck are you doing here wolf?" He snarled, but all threats left him as his eyes landed on the bloody girl in my arms. "I need Kagome. Nikki wont respond to anything I do and I don't know how to help her." I snapped and strode inside the house to find Kagome. "Did I just hear Koga?" The girl I was looking for said, coming into my view from a side room.
"Koga, I don't think I can do much more. I've never seen her like this and I don't even know what happened. All we can do is hope she wakes up soon." Kagome said after putting away a medicine box. I gave a long sigh and look down at the unresponsive female on the sofa. She was pale and cold, her heart was only a faint flutter and her mixed eyes were so dull. I knelt down beside her and ran a hand through her burgundy hair that was now at her shoulder blades. "I'll stay here until she wakes up." I murmured and sat down, never letting my eyes leave the girl. "Alright, keep her safe. I should be back in a two weeks...That's fourteen days." Kagome said. I gave a nod and the two left silently, leaving me with Nikki and my thoughts.
"Sota, put the bags on the table and finish your homework. You have school tomorrow so be sure to go to bed early and...Oh, are you one of Kagome's friends?" A woman asked as she entered the house. I turned and gave a nod to her and the young boy behind her. "Well, it's a pleasure to meet you." Then her eyes landed on the lifeless Nikki and she dropped her bags. "Nikki? What happened to her? Is she hurt?"The woman panicked and started to check over the panther girl. "I don't know what happened and we can't get her to wake up." I said, shoving my current emotions aside. The woman ,that must have been Kagome's mother, checked over the girl with frown. "Do you know the reason for her bracelet glowing?"
That question had me stumped and quickly getting up to see for myself. A small charm bracelet on Nikki's left wrist was glowing a steady shade of dark blue. I touched the piece of jewelry and almost fell to the ground. "It...It's zapping her energy." I gasped out. I only toughed that thing for a moment and I was heavily winded, Nikki has been wearing it for hours if not days like this. Taking a deep breath, I moved her arm and quickly broke the thin chain. Ending the power draining on Nikki as it clattered to the floor.
